![]() ![]() ![]() That alone wouldn’t be enough to really bother me, but Anzu would often use adult ways of referring to her and Tsuchida being together. ![]() For starters, her mother encouraged this, which might seem innocent enough until you learn that Sakura married her high school art teacher while she was in high school, where she subsequently got pregnant with his child (Anzu). I have to admit that I was just a little creeped out at times by the way Anzu’s affection for Tsuchida was played. (If you’ve read the manga, you can let me know if this is the case or not.) During those moments, one is reminded that this is a Gainax production, and I’m guessing these moments were also in the original manga. There are often breast jokes since Tsuchida often ogles Yamamoto-sensei’s chest, or is seen reading ecchi magazines. While things are mostly cute and sweet, considering Hanamaru Kindergarten was adopted from a seinen manga, there are seinen elements, such as seeing Yamamoto-sensei in a bikini. Unfortunately, the anime ends with no resolution to anyone’s romantic interest, choosing to keep the status quo, so the door is wide open for more anime, should the powers that be decide to produce more. So while she can’t understand why her sister doesn’t understand Tsuchida’s romantic feelings, Mayumi is oblivious to the feelings of Hanamaru-sensei, a mangaka whom Mayumi helps. Mayumi sees how much her sister talks about Tsuchida, then when she meets him, she sees that he’s in love with “Nana-chan” (Mayumi’s way of addressing her sister). One element that came off a bit surprising to me was the side exploration of Yamamoto-sensei’s younger sister (and roommate) Mayumi. I did want him to succeed in getting his feelings across to her, but comedy trumps romance in a series like this, so she becomes thick. Tsuchida’s unrequited love for her is pretty cliched. As a side effect of that, we get a look at Tsuchida’s crush on Yamamoto-sensei. Most of the stories center on Anzu and her her crush on Tsuchida. The stories are pretty much slice of life over the course of the school year at the kindergarten. Then in another episode, Anzu, Koume, and Hiiragi accompany Yamamoto-sensei, Sakura, and Tsuchida back to Tsuchida’s home, where Anzu tells Tsuchida’s parents the story of their son reading ecchi/porn magazines. The funniest moment for me came from Anzu, Koume, and Hiiragi playing detective and trailing Tsuchida to see what he does on his day off, and they watch him reading ecchi/porn magazines. ![]() Hanamaru Kindergarten can be pretty funny at times. Plus, when she wears her animal costumes (or other cosplay), how can she not steal the scene? It just cracked me up and made me like her so much. For example, when her intellect is challenged by Kenji, a boy from a class of older students, she defeats him so completely that he starts calling her “shishou” (master). While Anzu, Koume, and Hinagiku may be cute, Hiiragi steals most scenes she’s in due to her “blank” deep blue eyes and pure genius. The kindergarteners going about doing things lends to this cute element. However, Yamamoto-sensei is dense regarding Tsuchida’s feelings even though she likes Tsuchida as a colleague.įor the most part, Hanamaru Kindergarten is a fairly cute series. Anzu’s other rival is Yamamoto-sensei, whom Tsuchida has a crush on. Hinagiku fell in love with “Tsuchida-sama” after he helped her once. Anzu gets a rival and friend in the form of the ojousama Hinagiku, who’s the daughter of a local yakuza boss. Anzu decides she’s going to marry “Tsuchi” (the name Sakura addresses Tsuchida by) and does what she can to try to gain his romantic affection.Īlso at the school are Anzu’s friends Koume, a girl who’s very shy and timid, and Hiiragi, who’s a genius who likes to dress up in animal costumes. Not only that, she’s the daughter of Tsuchida’s high school senpai and crush, Sakura, who married their high school art teacher. Anzu turns out to be a attending the Hanamaru Kindergarten and is assigned to Tsuchida’s class. On his way to teach at school for the first time, he runs into a little girl named Anzu, who thinks he’s trying to hit on her and is happy about this. The story, in brief, centers around TSUCHIDA Naozumi, a recent college graduate who became a kindergarten teacher because of the chance to work with pretty girls. Such was the case with Hanamaru Kindergarten. As I had mentioned before, sometimes things get elevated to the top of the list. I have a massive backlog of anime to watch. ![]()
